money- its a rich man's world

i received my paycheck notification in the mail yesterday, they directly credited it into my bank account. apparently, tuesday is their accounting day of the week.

i spent it on groceries...

bloody hell right?
i wish i got a nice piece of jewellery with it or a bag or something

but no, bills have to be paid and groceries have to be bought...

welcome to the real world.

mydad'smum

today i called my grandmother

she seemed ok
it seemed like it was a good day for her
she even told me she'll bring me out to eat if i came back for chinese new year '10

i was about to tell her that i found a placement for industry training

until she asked me where i was and whether i liked it here

for the 3rd time

and then me finding a job didn't seem so important anymore

so i told her: i ate nasi lemak, yup, a malay family sells it here grandma. yes, the rice quite lemak. i think almost as good as singapore's. yes, i will study hard grandma, when i build a hotel you can stay there for free. i'm in australia now grandma. melbourne, its nice here. you'll see me at chinese new year. yeah, ang pows! huh? you'll only give me $1.20? how about $2? yeah, you can start saving for the extra 80 cents! yes grandma, i'm in australia. melbourne. yeah, i like it here. thanks grandma. ok. yes i'll take care. you too. bye bye.

when & if she asks me who i am
i don't think i'll be able to take it then

i used to wear a tshirt that said
i want to be just like grandma when i grow up
and i meant it.
she was the coolest person i knew as a kid

so today, i'll make a promise
to call her every week
so that, hopefully,
she won't forget me.
